KODI SOFTWARE

Many people connect their NAS directly onto their TV sets so manufacturers have improved that area quite a bit. So as you can all see ASUSTOR has made it possible to access the surveillance app, ADM OS, Chrome, Chromium, Netflix, YouTube, KODI and even Spotify from the HDMI output.

Accessing the ADM OS via HDMI may not be as smooth as when you do from your computer but still it can come very handy.

KODI version 16 may not be the last one but this is what we were able to install in the AS6208T (4k playback is supported).

You can personalize the KODI application quite a bit (for example change the skin of the menus and set the region/language/audio language options).

You can also check the various hardware/software information screens and of course adjust video and audio settings.

Our Blu-Ray MKV rip of Avatar S.E (42GB) was once again used to test the playback capabilities of the NAS at hand and just like with many of the latest NAS models to have reached our lab we didn’t experience any problems. Unfortunately just like with the TVS-682 by QNAP we encountered several video anomalies with some of the 4k clips we used (both NAS used the same KODI version so my bet is that that’s what’s responsible for this).
